Can I use the referenceSearchCondition with an Enum Attribute?

I like to limit the results by value in my field in backoffice config file. To mention is that my grouptype field is an ENUM. Is it possible to do this? I tried already this in mybackoffice-config.xml:

<editorArea:attribute qualifier="disableGroups">
     <editorArea:editor-parameter>
         <editorArea:name>referenceSearchCondition_grouptype</editorArea:name>
         <editorArea:value>DISABLE_GROUP</editorArea:value>
     </editorArea:editor-parameter>
</editorArea:attribute>

but I get this ERROR:

    ERROR [hybrisHTTP30] [UiEngineImpl]
de.hybris.platform.servicelayer.exceptions.UnknownIdentifierException: No attribute with qualifier grouptype found.

Second try: I tried also with the sequence number of my ENUM value like this:

<editorArea:attribute qualifier="disableGroups">
 <editorArea:editor-parameter>
     <editorArea:name>referenceSearchCondition_grouptype</editorArea:name>
     <editorArea:value>3</editorArea:value>
 </editorArea:editor-parameter>

I get no errors but it doesn't work either. It does nothing.
